At MPRC, we are finding that participants have been donating more than just good spirits! Altough we do not encourage participants to donate, several have been expressing their gratitude and trust in our services in the form of donations.
AW is no exception. He was motivated to donate to the center because of love, charity, compassion and the desire to help others. MPRC staff decided to interview AW to find out more information about his experiences in the center:
What do you appreciate the most about the Merrifield Peer Resource Center?
“Group dynamics, fellowship, the really good recovery information, and sharing in a group. Stuff like that.”
What do you mean by “fellowship”? What does “fellowship” mean to you?
“It is coming together as a group, sharing our hurts, joys, struggles, and supporting one another on a journey to wellness.”
What was the biggest “A-HA” moment during the process of coming here? What have you accomplished as a result of coming to MPRC?
“The friendliness and love I received inspired me to continue to come and as I participate, I am growing out of my addiction to nicotine, drugs, and negative thinking and into compassion, stability, and joyous living.”
